Propagation Regimes of Fluid-Driven Fractures in Impermeable Rocks

Emmanuel Detournay · 20 Feb 2004

This paper reviews recent results of a research program aimed at developing a theoretical framework to understand and predict the different modes of propagation of a fluid-driven fracture. The research effort involves constructing detailed solutions of the crack tip region, developing global models of hydraulic fractures for plane strain and radial geometry, and identifying the…

Effective Stress in Unsaturated Soils: Review with New Evidence

Nasser Khalili, F. Geiser, G. E. Blight · 17 May 2004

The application of the effective stress principle to unsaturated soils is critically reviewed, and the reasons underlying the difficulties in previous investigations of the effective stress in unsaturated soils are highlighted. The validity of the relationship proposed by Khalili and Khabbaz in 1998 for the determination of the effective stress parameter, χ, is examined using…

Y-Geo: New Combined Finite-Discrete Element Numerical Code for Geomechanical Applications

O. K. Mahabadi, A. Lisjak, A. Munjiza et al. · 12 Mar 2012

The purpose of this paper is to present Y-Geo, a new numerical code for geomechanical applications based on the combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM). FDEM is an innovative numerical technique that combines the advantages of continuum-based modeling approaches and discrete element methods to overcome the inability of these methods to capture progressive damage and failure…

Numerical Analysis of Rainfall Effects on Slope Stability

Fei Cai, Keizō Ugai · 17 May 2004

The finite element analysis of transient water flow through unsaturated–saturated soils was used to investigate effects of hydraulic characteristics, initial relative degree of saturation, methods to consider boundary condition, and rainfall intensity and duration on water pressure in slopes. The finite element method with shear strength reduction technique was used to evaluate the stability of…

Experimental and Numerical Study of Railway Ballast Behavior under Cyclic Loading

Buddhima Indraratna, Pramod Kumar Thakur, Jayan S. Vinod · 4 Dec 2009

This paper presents the results of the influence of frequency on the permanent deformation and degradation behavior of ballast during cyclic loading. The behavior of ballast under numerous cycles was investigated through a series of large-scale cyclic triaxial tests. The tests were conducted at frequencies ranging from 10–40 Hz, which is equivalent to a train…

International Journal of Geomechanics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the International Journal of Geomechanics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the International Journal of Geomechanics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official ASCE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does International Journal of Geomechanics use?
International Journal of Geomechanics uses Author–year (ASCE) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., B. Jones, and C. Lee. (2023). "A representative article title." International Journal of Geomechanics, 12(3), 45–58.
